Let me know what you think of it. It is definitely not the first of it's kind, even for JavaScript, but it's a super simple implementation. It has two small functions select and isArray which is used in select.

You can see the code below and do what you like with it. I included an MIT license statement with it.
Have fun.

function isArray(obj) {
return toString.call(obj) === '[object Array]';
}
function select(obj, query, result) {
var parts, ptr, term;
try {
if (query == null || query.trim() === '') throw 'query is required';
if (obj == null) throw 'obj is required';
parts = query.split(/\s+/);
if (parts.length > 1) {
parts.forEach(function(part) {
result = select(obj, part, result);
});
return result;
} else {
parts = query.split('.');
}
if (!result) result = [];
ptr = obj;
while(parts.length) {
term = parts.shift();
ptr = ptr[term];
if (ptr === undefined) throw '';
if (ptr === null) return null;
if (parts.length && isArray(ptr)) {
ptr.forEach(function(item) {
result = select(item, parts.join('.'), result);
});
return result;
}
}
result.push(ptr);
return result;
}
catch (e) {
console.log('bad query: ' + query);
}
}
